Diff Choices For My VZ

[FAT.36L]

Hey Guys Just After Afew Suggestions For A New Diff Centre For My VZ I Want A LSD But Not Sure What Ratio To Run

Any Help Appreciated????

[tanner892]

3.46 gears off the monaros ive heard are good, id also like more info about them or any other choices that anyone recommends as im wanting to make a change also

[andyman]

im running 3.46LSD, good noticable increase, freeway sits about 2100rpm at 105km/h

freeway economy was still 7.4L/100km

so i can recommend that or if you have more money 3.7's would be allright i guess, depends on the sort of driving you do,

ive found the 3.46 alot better with cruise control, it tended to cog swap a fair bit with the 3.08, 3.46 has really smoothed it out

3.9s with a kaaz diff center

Im Just Mainly After Acceleration Not To Worried About RPM At 100kph

[monaro327]

if your after acceleration go 3.7's 3.9's are use less to much wheel spin, no point having 3.9's if you can only launch at part throttle anyway.

I'm running 3.9's in the VZ SV6 5spd and they're much much better for acceleration. haven't really had too many issues with wheelspin from launch either...unless its wet, then it keeps trying to go sideways until you hit 4th lol. sits at about 2500rpm at 100kmph but I don't really do a lot of highway driving so not an issue

[Lumps of cheese]

3.7's in the ss, no worries on all counts.

Mmm So Sound Like A 3.9 LSD Is On The Way

3.7's in the ss, no worries on all counts.

+1, 3.73 hits the sweet spot for me

They would be, given your stock ratio was 2.8...

What were the VZ SV6 stock? im looking into getting these changes when i put the SV6 in for a VCM tune.

So 3.7s would do well?

P.S. where would i look into buying a set, and would i be able to get them put in by whom ever does my tune?

SV6 is 2.87 stock.

Ill be getting 3.08 in a few weeks, i found out 3.46 gears in a SV6, 1st is very short.
So ill settle 4, 3.08

[FAT.36L]

I Still Think The 3.9 Sounds Like The Diff For Me I Just Want More Pick Up Im Not To Worried About Top End Speed Can Only Do 100 Any Way But I'd Rather Get There Quick

thats the go, i wouldnt be worried about wheel spin, irs and a 4sp auto will kill that chance pretty easily,

unless you keep it a single spinner with 3.9's which you arnt, lsd will keep you happy with 3.9s's just be carefull on corners in the wet with the lsd though lol, mine gets real happy with 3.46

[andyman]

so your saying i should go back to 3.08 when i get 6-speed

[skipzor]

i do alot of high-way driving in my VZ SS auto, some of it is 110kph. what do you guys recommend?

i believe the next step for you would be 3.7, ss's had 3.46 from factory

[PaulSV6]

Each to his own, Andrew.

[andyman]

Each to his own, Andrew.

lol you didnt get the joke haha, that diff i was talking about is the one youd be buying....

[greengoose999]

the ss had a 3:08 i thought. most people i know of with the ss go to the 3:9s.
i put a 3:08 into my sv6 man ute and i like it so far.

[GTRwilson]

im looking into getting these changes when i put the SV6 in for a VCM tune.

So 3.7s would do well?

P.S. where would i look into buying a set, and would i be able to get them put in by whom ever does my tune?

anyone know about this? not sure if i was ignored, or if no one knows?

p.s. thanks for the stock ratio though.

[andyman]

id probably look at 3.46 max for the sv6's particularly the 6-speeds

[GTRwilson]

this be a 5-speed. That change anything, or you still think 3.46?
